SLCW💥All the #hysterics over #ballot #dropBoxes are absurd and unwarranted. Abundant empirical evidence proves they are a #safe and #efficient way for #Americans to #vote. If some no-gooder jams a fistful of #fraudulent #ballots into the box, it doesn't mean they will be counted and applied to the official tally. The ballots are still inspected and verified prior to #tabulation. The ballot box is just another way for #voters to transmit their ballot to the #election clerk.
Ballot drop boxes fuel election fraud conspiracy theories. Two Democrats just made those claims
Ballot drop boxes have been a prime target for those pushing right-wing conspiracy theories that the 2020 presidential election was rigged and that voting results can’t be trusted. That's a false narrative, but Democrats in Connecticut’s largest city are unwittingly fueling the claims. Two candidates for mayor of Bridgeport are trading accusations that the other side stuffed drop boxes with bogus ballots. The dispute is heading to a court showdown. Republicans have seized on it to say it validates their concerns and they're calling to eliminate drop boxes altogether. The controversy has been picked up by right-wing media and could have ripple effects travel far beyond the city of 148,000.
